Should be a good game today vs the grizz.

Naji has been ballin, loving him as a pick up. His perimeter defence and lateral movement is off the chain.

No Naji tonight. He's sick with something. Luka and DLive played great in the first half but Kyrie was ass.

 

[MusterX]

Insane win for the Mavs, huge run in the last 3 minutes of the game, something like 16-4.

Who?

LA 1

 

[RoastBeast]

They got some real ones out there in Sac.

But did they really have to cut to the kid after that?

Dweebs is the best Laker since Kobe.

People are finally starting to see it. Flakes are garbage without my boy AR.

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

What is going on with the Lakes? Horrible effort tonight. 22% from three. AD got cold and doing worse every game as of late. Lebron's 3 point shooting is like John Starks game 7 versus the Rockets.

Still amazing what LeGoat is doing at this age but he can’t carry these cans anymore. Kooby’s agent has done a shit job surrounding LeGoat and gAyD with nba level talent these last two years. Dude is the worst gm in the league. I hope he makes some moves soon but he most likely will sit on his ass like he’s done the last two years. What a waste.

 

[Emporio Alnino]

keep it up lakeshow, we need that pick to be a good one.

 

[Jonathan Utah]

I think it’s only right that the Jazz end up with Cooper Flagg.

Also, this point guard from Arkansas has an amazing name.

My God, the T-Wolves have almost doubled the Flerps score, 86-48 near the end of the 3rd.

Tough night for Los Cangeles teams.

The canchises should merge and try to form something competent.

Lol at all the dorks that blamed Darvin Ham when anyone with a brain could see the team is a mess.

Poor KK. LeBrick set to get another coach fired.

The West is a murdertrain. And you are correct, this was not a Darvin Ham problem. Look at the T-Wolves, I think they have a better roster than the Lakers and they are an 11-10 team struggling to keep their head above water. Leroid is 40 years old, its a young mans league. AD is inconsistent in what he gives you on a nightly basis. The West is just a nasty tough conference right now with 11 teams of the 15 above .500. Compare that to the East which only has 6/15 above .500.

The team has the talent but any objective fan that watches their games will tell you they don't play defense, and it starts with their leaders. It's become acceptable to give zero effort on the defensive end. The fact they also went out and got a coach who couldn't really play any defense himself is hilarious. Ultimately, Darvin was fired because no one wants to take accountability on the court.

Running up offensive stats is cute but if LeCan doesn't want to play or lead by example then they have to figure something else out. The whole "I can't believe he's 40" thing is laughable considering he's a pedestrian for 90% of the game and accepts no blame for anything.

As impressive as Bron's age defiance is, he's about on par with MJ. Bron is currently 39 and his numbers are fairly similar as Jordan's when he was 38

2 more points on 2 less shots with more rebounds and assists without having to quit multiple times.

The extra 500 regular seaons games that LeGoat has had to play and having to carry a bunch of cans and the nba has finally caught up to him.

Also this is Legoat's age 40 season. Last year was his age 39 season.

They look similar but league average scoring is way up now. Teams were averaging about 95 ppg. They're averaging about 113 ppg now. That was arguably the most difficult era to put up offensive numbers. It's much, much easier to score now. On the defensive end, it's not really comparable.

MJ was competing at a higher level on both ends of the court on a far worse team.

Sucks to hear Woj has cancer. Hope the best for him.
